Wintry Meringue Pops
Putting meringues on a stick makes it easy for your guests to grab ‘n go during the holidays! Wrapped in cellophane, these treats become a nice gift. We added Peppermint Extract to these meringues but there are many options to change the flavor and/or color to suit your mood or occasion! Makes about 20 meringue pops, depending on size.
Ingredients
- 3 egg white, room temperture (about ⅓ cup)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ tsp distilled white vinegar
- ½ tsp Amoretti® Peppermint O.S. Extract
- pastry bag fitted with star tip

Directions

- Whip egg whites on high speed to stiff peaks.
- With mixer going, add sugar very slowly, “raining” it in.
